Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Since ²/₅ of the students are 15, ³/₅ are 16. To find the exact number that are 16, we simply multiply the total number of students by the fraction that are 16. If you do not have a calculator, you can multiply by converting 75 to a fraction (remember that whole numbers always have "1" as their denominator). ⁷⁵/₁ • ³/₅ = ²²⁵/₅ = 45
